# MCP Inspector A minimal demo showcasing the `use-mcp` React hook for connecting to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. ## Features - Connect to any MCP server via URL - View available tools and their schemas - Real-time connection status monitoring - Debug logging for troubleshooting - Clean, minimal UI focused on MCP functionality ## Getting Started 0. Make sure you've built the parent `use-mcp` directory at least once! ```bash cd ../.. && pnpm build && cd - ``` Alternatively, run `pnpm dev` in the parent directory in a second terminal if you want to iterate on both the library and the example together. 1. Install dependencies: ```bash pnpm install ``` 2. Start the development server: ```bash pnpm dev ``` 3. Open your browser and navigate to the displayed local URL 4. Enter an MCP server URL to test the connection and explore available tools ## What This Demonstrates This example shows how easy it is to integrate MCP servers into a React application using the `use-mcp` hook. The core functionality is just: ```tsx import { useMcp } from 'use-mcp/react' const connection = useMcp({ url: 'your-mcp-server-url', debug: true, autoRetry: false }) // Access connection.state, connection.tools, connection.error, etc. ``` The `McpServers` component wraps this hook to provide a complete UI for server management and tool inspection.
